There's "AROS Broadway" that you can try. I don't think there's anything more than betas at present but it might be worth checking out.

Hi amig060 I looked at 5 different pakages for RPI2 Amiga Emulator and ended up using this one
https://github.com/Chips-fr/uae4arm-rpi

The other 4 were, 3 for Uae4all and 1 earlier version of the one in the above link.
Iam a total newbie at Linux but after a few Stella Artois i felt confident

The resulting download was a file called uae4arm-rpi-master.zip

Which i found and opened a shell in the downloads directory and
ran these lines taken from the bottom of the page in the link
sudo apt-get install g++-4.8 sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev sudo apt-get install libsdl-gfx1.2-dev sudo apt-get install libsdl-ttf2.0-dev sudo apt-get install libguichan-dev

and in my case it was for the RPI2 i done this one too.

make CXX=g++-4.8
then typed..

unzip uae4arm-rpi-master.zip

Then i used cd uae4arm-rpi-master to enter the unzipped folder and typed,

make

After 10 mins or so the screen stoped scrolling rubbish ^^ and showed the command prompt.
, so then i went back to the raspberry desktop opened Filemanager,
opened the folder uae4arm-rpi-master and all the folders were created(well most of them ) I created a folder called floppies and put my adf games in there.

From there i double clicked the icon for the uae4arm prog, after watching a flashing yellow screen i pressed left Ctrl checked the paths in the Gui .

At this point you should check the readme files for the renaming of the kickstarts and roms ,,
Good luck

OH Yea, i got TankX, Arkanoid and R-Type2 running with no glitches and the speed and sound was perfect.

Try some of thee settings
CPU - 68000, No FPU, Cpu speed 7mhz 24 bit, JiT.
Chipset - Ecs Agnus, Blitter normal, Copper fast, Sprites vs play field.
ROM - Kick20
RAM - 1 chip 1 fast
MISC - All ticked

The mouse was a bit jerky but its not bad using custom control..
And Amiga worbench 1.3 worked great after a few more Stella's


( looking for a good update to run 3.1

New version of RetroPie comes with 2 amiga emulators. I just tried it, made sure WHDLoad works fine... Should try bit more later this weekend, if time permits.

I use wireless keyboard and mouse, and it was great to be able to play games just like long time ago, on TV.

Took bit longer to setup RetroPie, because my TV is old and HDMI does not send enough information to RetroPie to figure out what resolution to use. I had to mess with config until I was able to run it on HD.

Nice side of it - all emulators now work fine with new settings.

I've seen few instructions how to build it with raspbian and make it boot into amiga.
